Urge Disney to Reintroduce DVD Releases in Australia


Urge Disney to Reintroduce DVD Releases in Australia
The issue
Having excitedly anticipated the release of Doctor Who's 60th anniversary edition, I was thrilled to see Disney ushering in a return to physical media with this significant celebration in Australia. For avid collectors and casual viewers alike, physical DVDs are more than just a viewing tool—they represent a cherished keepsake and a reliable, high-quality way to enjoy beloved films without the need for an internet connection.
Recently, however, Disney announced that Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will mark the final DVD release in Australia under its current distribution plans. This decision follows corporate restructuring and an increased focus on streaming services, leaving countless fans, including myself, frustrated and concerned. We were looking forward to watching anticipated releases such as Thunderbolts, Captain America: Brave New World, Moana 2, Wish, and the intriguing Alien: Romulus on DVD shortly after they premiered.
The decision to halt physical media production seems out of step with a diverse audience's viewing habits in Australia, a nation where access to reliable internet streaming is not universally guaranteed. DVDs provide a tangible, lasting way to experience and share stories, offering unique bonuses and features that cater to the film enthusiast's heart.
It's not merely about nostalgia or collecting. The decision also raises issues about the accessibility and ownership of media content. DVDs allow individuals to truly own their copy of a film or show—a reality that streaming services can't replicate with their licensing agreements and potential content removals.
Disney has long prided itself on delivering magical experiences that touch lives across the globe. By reconsidering their stance and continuing to offer DVDs in Australia, they would not only satisfy market demand but also uphold this legacy of accessibility and enjoyment.
Join us in urging Disney to reverse their decision and continue releasing DVDs in Australia. Sign this petition to let them know that the magic of their stories is worth preserving on our shelves.
